Tears for Fears - Songs from the Big Chair is a great example of this. Listening only the the radio singles from that album removes the cool instrumentals and structure that connects the songs together and make a cohesive album (it's almost a concept album). The endings from one song seem to go directly into the start of the next song. Head over Heels is such a different song when you listen to it in the context of Broken and Listen and the band becomes more than just two guys who write pop songs. It's shows tremendous talent.
